Hi Guy's I purchased a nautilus mini and my old ego battery just isnt cutting it no more i feel like i'm bottlenecking the nautilus and need something which is more powerful and good quality, I'm looking for a nice battery which isn't to big(Length wise) has VV wattage/volts and lasts at least over a day(I go through 2 - 3ml juice a day) also I'm not looking to break the bank got kids to feed :) aha, I had a look at the new kanger ipow 2 1600mah but looking at it i have a feeling its going to look like a light saber in my hand and look like i have a constant hard on in my pocket, any help is appreciated thank you, also I'm from the uk :)

Also does anyone know a good online outlet for e cig related stuff in the uk? thanks!

There really isn't too much available in mid size batteries. It's eGo sized or mod sized. A good compromise would be an Evod twist at 1300 or 1600mAh.
They are slightly fatter than the regular eGo batteries at around 16mm diameter but no where near as big as say a Vamo. Fast Tech do a good clone of the 1300mAh Evod twist at about £8.
MVPs are also quite short but are bulky if you are used to eGos.
Your best bet would be to have a look at the FastTech website for a size/price comparison. Pick what looks good to you and order it or use the information to purchase elsewhere.

I believe the only real options are listed above. Either an ego style twist battery or the Itazte VV/VW.
I would recommend the Itazte. It'll run you around $50 (last time I looked anyway) but it's digital, fairly accurate, and has a pass-through so just one will keep you going constantly as long as you have a wall and car adapter for emergency re-charging.

If you are worried about buying clones from FT, I'd suggest that you stick to thee ones marked "Authentic". The clones are generally marked "Style".

Good info, why didn't i think of that ?!
The only problems i have had with FT clones is that around 1 in 6 Evod twist type batteries will not work properly. They either wont charge or don't switch on -(They always except returns but it is a long, torturous process). I've never had a safety issue.
Unfortunately when buying cheap products from China you have to expect the odd QC issue.
It's a good site to get an idea of what's out there. The only other downside is it spoils you for other sites. Once you see what FT sells things for it is hard to pay what most UK sites are asking.... :blink:
